Hi reidarT,
I suggest that solving your requirement by use of the navigation button is
not the way to go; anyway the answer to your question is, 'No.'
Explore using the form's On Current event. What you need is some way of
detecting that the form being displayed is that to add a new record. Perhaps
you could test the values of one or both of your date controls. (A test I
have used in the past is to determine whether the value of an Autonumber
field is null.) Once you are certain that it is an 'add new record' form then
poke today's date in both controls. Do all this within the On Current event.
One word of warning. If your date controls are bound to fields in an
underlying recordset then having altered their values Access will attempt to
save the record when you exit that form (or move to another record). Most of
the time this is what you want but suppose you clicked the navigation button
by mistake; you have to provide some sort of cancel/don't save functionality.
Regards,
Rod
